  • Memory of the Civil Rights Movement in Textbooks, Juvenile Biography, and Museums
    ABSTRACT JOHNSON, CHRISTINE RENEE GOULD. Celebrating a National Myth: Memory of The Civil Rights Movement in Textbooks, Juvenile Biography, and Museums. (Under the direction of Dr. Katherine Mellen Charron). The Civil Rights Movement (CRM) is commemorated at movement anniversaries, during Black History Month, and every Martin Luther King Jr. Day. However, some historians argue these public versions do not tell a full story of the CRM, over-simplifying it and portraying it as a story of inevitable progress. Relying on a “mythic” version of this critical event in the nation’s history, the mainstream narrative has little explanatory power. This makes it easier for some to dismiss ongoing struggles for racial equality and more difficult for future generations to learn from movement’s successes and failures. This thesis examines other kinds of CRM history that inform the public. Many learn about the movement as youth through educational mediums like high school textbooks and children’s literature, and people of all ages encounter it in museums. I ask what version of CRM history each of these present, inquiring how interpretations have evolved over time and the degree to which they reflect changes in scholarship. Spanning a total of fifty-four years, this study finds surprisingly little change in textbook narratives beyond token additions that nod to some advancements in the historiography. Juvenile biographies of CRM luminaries published in recent decades present a deeper history, often with a longer chronology, but relay an overly optimistic outlook about what the movement accomplished. Civil rights museums in the South vary in their depictions, with the strongest interpretations appearing in the most recently opened or renovated.
